FIRST SECURITY BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2004

# NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation:  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of First Security
Bancorp, Inc. (the First Security) and its wholly-owned subsidiary First
Security Bank of Lexington, Inc. (FS Bank) have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in First
Securitys Form 10-KSB annual report for 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
consolidated condensed balance sheet of First Security as of December 31, 2003 has been
derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of First Security. Where appropriate,
some items in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation. Unless otherwise indicated within the text, dollars are
presented in thousands except for per share data and all data is presented as of or for
the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Accounting and Reporting
Policies:  The accounting and reporting policies of First Security and FS Bank conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to
predominant practices within the banking industry. The following summary of significant
policies used in the preparation of First Securitys financial statements should be
read in light of a more detailed discussion of all significant policies appearing in First
Securitys Form 10-KSB as of and for the period ended December 31, 2003.

Operating Segments:  Internal
financial information is primarily recorded and aggregated in three lines of business,
retail banking, commercial banking and mortgage banking. While management monitors the
revenue streams of the various products and services, the identifiable segments are not
material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a
company-wide basis. Accordingly, all financial service operations are considered by
management to be aggregated within one reportable operating segment.

Operating Results:  Operating
results for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Stock Compensation:  Employee
compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method.
Stock-based compensation cost for options granted employees with an exercise price less
than the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant if material,
is reflected in net income. No stock-based compensation cost for options granted employees
and directors with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the
underlying common stock at the date of grant is reflected in net income.

The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured for options granted
using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Amounts are in thousands, except for per share data.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES (Continued)

Unrealized losses on securities have
not been recognized into income because the securities are of high credit quality,
management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline
in fair value is largely due to changes in market conditions. The fair value is expected
to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market conditions
improve.

Sales of available-for-sale
securities were as follows for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, the year ended
December 31, 2003 and the six month period ended June 30, 2003:

|             |              |  |

# NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

Stock Award Plan
Options to buy stock are granted to directors, officers and employees under First Securitys
Stock Award Plan (Stock Plan), which provides for issue of up to 200,000 options. Pursuant to
the Stock Plan, options may be issued which are defined as incentive stock options or as
non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options are intended to qualify under the
provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 422 (IRC), which include, among
other things, that the option price be not less than the fair value of the shares as of
the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options are those that do not meet the requirements
of the provisions of the IRC, and, accordingly, may contain terms that are different than
those in place for incentive stock options. The Stock Plan is accounted for in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, and related interpretations.

During the first quarter of 2004,
First Security awarded 26,350 options to employees and 19,000 to non-employee directors.
These options were granted at an exercise price of $17.15, which equaled the market price
for the stock as of the date of the grant.

Other Stock Options
In addition to the above, on December 1, 2003 First Security issued 20,000 options to its chief
executive officer with an exercise price of $14.00, which was below the market price of the shares
at the date of the grant. These options are non-qualified. The difference between the exercise price and
the market price will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees.

# Results of Operations

For the second quarter of 2004, net
income totaled $203,000 as compared to $202,000 for the second quarter of 2003. For the
six month period ended June 30, 2004, net income totaled $404,000 as compared to $325,000
for the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The primary reasons for the improved
performance for both comparable periods in 2004, as compared to 2003, were an increase in
net interest income, resulting primarily from a decline in interest expense and a
reduction in our provision for loan losses. Offsetting these improvements was a decline in
noninterest income attributable primarily to declines in gains on sales of securities and
loans.

The following is a more detailed
discussion of results of our operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004
and 2003.

Net Interest Income. Net
interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets
exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most
significant component of our earnings.  A summary of the relevant information concerning
net interest income, spreads and margins is as follows (amounts in thousands):

               assets and the average cost of interest bearing funding sources

|4. |  | Net interest margin is a calculation of the ratio of net interest income to
               average earning assets.
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|5. |  | In the second quarter of 2004, we recorded a recovery of $95,754
               of interest income from prior periods. This recoery is included in the above calculations.
|-- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
we recorded net interest income of $1,648,000 as compared to $1,480,000 for the comparable
2003 period. This improvement of $168,000 is attributable primarily to lower interest
expense on deposits. The cost of all funding sources declined by 63 basis points, as
compared to the 20 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets. Our net interest
margin increased by 32 basis points, which is attributable to the decline in interest
costs that was more rapid than the decline in the yield on earning assets, a recovery of
$95,754 in prior period interest income and our maintaining a lower level of certificates
of deposit through the use of excess federal funds sold.

For the six month period ended June
30, 2004, we recorded net interest income of $3,096,000 as compared to $2,960,000 for the
comparable 2003 period. The primary reason for this improvement is the 59 basis point
decline in funding costs that exceeded the 45 basis point decline in the yields on earning
assets.

The improvement in net interest
income for both the quarter and year to date periods in 2004 was achieved through
improvement in spreads and margins, as opposed to growth in the amounts of earning assets
and funding sources.

During the quarter ended June 30,
2004, our yield on loans increased slightly, primarily as a result of the recovery
discussed above. Excluding the recovery, our yield on loans would have been 5.54%, which
is a decline from the results for the first quarter of 2004. The decline in yields during
the first and second quarters was a result of the following factors:

- Older fixed rate loans, originated at a point
in time when interest rates were substantially higher, are being repaid or maturing and being renewed
at todays lower interest rates.
- Competitive
pressures in the market have increased, with other banks offering interest
rates on loans that are much lower than rates on some of our existing loans, thus causing
us to renegotiate the interest rates to lower levels to maintain the loan relationships.

These factors subsided late in the
second quarter as loan yields stabilized. On July 2, 2004, the banks prime rate was
increased by 25 basis points. This increase is expected to have a significant impact on
the overall loan portfolio for the third quarter and future periods, as approximately 65%
of the banks loans are based on prime and are adjustable within a thirty day period.

During the quarter ended June 30,
2004, our cost of deposits has also declined, and at a faster pace than for our loans. The reason for
this more rapid decline is that deposits generally reprice less frequently than loans, as our
certificates of deposit (which constitute about 65% of the total of deposits) are issued
for longer periods at fixed rates in existence at the time of their origination. Thus, the
deposits that were repriced in the second quarter of 2004 were issued as much as four
years ago, when the interest rate environment was substantially higher, and these time deposits
are now being repriced at significantly lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses. The
provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an
allowance for loan losses (ALL) that, in our managements evaluation,
should be adequate to provide coverage for probable and incurred loss on outstanding
loans. The provision for loan losses amounted to $50,000 and $324,000 for the quarters
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The provision for loan losses the six month
periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $75,000 and $469,000, respectively.

The decline in the provision expense
during 2004, as compared to 2003, relates primarily to the recognition of probable and
incurred losses through the corresponding provisions for loan losses that occurred during
2003. Of all of the problem loans existing at March 31 and June 30, 2004, approximately
60% were in existence during 2003 and were included in the analyses and provisions that
took place in 2003. See also the discussion of nonperforming assets included elsewhere
herein.

Based upon our managements
evaluation of the loan portfolio, our management believes the allowance for loan losses to
be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable and incurred losses existing in the loan
portfolio at the balance sheet date.

Noninterest Income. FS
Banks noninterest income is composed of several components, some of which vary
significantly between quarterly periods. The primary components of noninterest income are
as follows:

- Service charges on deposit accounts is composed of various fees assessed on
customers account activity including overdraft fees and generally reflect FS
Banks growth in its deposits and customers.
- Net gains on the sale of loans includes income from origination fees and points on
residential loans made with the expectation that they will be later sold into the
secondary market, and from service release fees received on these loans from the
purchasers. All loans are sold whereby servicing rights transfer to the buyer. Generally,
mortgage origination fees increase in lower interest rate environments and decrease in
rising interest rate environments. As a result, mortgage origination fees may fluctuate
greatly in response to a changing rate environment.
- Net gains on the sale of securities is the sum of gains and losses from the sale, prior to
maturity, of securities held in our portfolio, and since the gains are directly related to
the interest rate environment, are subject to wide fluctuations caused by changes in the
interest rate environment.

During 2003, a refinancing
boom existed in the United States, evidenced by record numbers of borrowers
refinancing their home loans in order to take advantage of the historically low long term
interest rates. That boom slowed during the fourth quarter of 2003, and remained so during
the first two quarters of 2004. This slowdown affected FS Bank in its mortgage lending and
sales of loans into the secondary market for both comparable periods, as shown in the
above tables.

No gains on the sale of securities
were recognized for the second quarter of 2004. Interest rate increases in early 2004 has
caused the values of our securities to decline, which has resulted in lower gains on sales
for the six month periods as shown in the above table.

The decline in other noninterest
income is primarily attributable to lower mortgage loan fees relating to loans intended to
be sold in the secondary market.

Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, equipment and
occupancy expenses, and other operating expenses.

The following is the makeup of our
noninterest expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in
thousands):

Expenses have decreased or increased
during the above periods due primarily to the following factors:

- The lower salaries and benefits expense reflects
vacancies in lending positions that were not filled until May 2004.
- The decline in legal and  professional  fees for both  comparable  periods  relates to a decline of legal
fees related to both strategic planning efforts and to problem loan administration.
- The decline in other noninterest  expense relates primarily to a loss of $100,000  recognized in the second
quarter of 2003 on the liquidation of repossessed and foreclosed assets.

Income  Taxes. The  effective  income tax  expense  rate for the quarter  ended June 30, 2004 was 31.4%,  as compared to 20.5% for the
quarter  ended June 30, 2003.  For the six month  periods  ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,  the  effective  income tax expense rates were
30.1% and 6.0%,  respectively.  This  difference in rates is attributable to the  repositioning  of our securities  portfolio that took
place  during  2003.  The focus of that  repositioning  was to reduce the  average  maturities  of our  portfolio  in  anticipation  of
increases in the general  interest  rates for 2004, and this strategy  resulted in the sale of a substantial  portion of our tax-exempt
investment  securities.  As a result, tax exempt income was substantially  lower in 2004, as compared to 2003,  resulting in the higher
effective income tax rate.

Financial Condition

During 2004, the total assets of the Company
declined.  The primary reason for this decline is a strategic decision to use excess federal funds sold to reduce
the balances of certificates of deposit, which bear interest at rates that are higher than the interest rates
earned on federal funds sold.  Since December 31, 2003, federal funds sold has declined from $25.2 million to
$14.4 million at March 31, 2004 and to $1.6 million at June 30, 2004.  The use of these excess funds has resulted
in an improvement in spreads and margins, discussed in the previous sections.

A comparative summary of the components of
average earnings assets before the deduction for the allowance for loan losses is presented as follows
(amounts in thousands):

1.       
          Includes available-for-sale securities and other securities.

Investment Securities. FS
Banks investment portfolio is classified as available-for-sale, meaning that any or
all of the securities may be sold to meet the business objectives of FS Bank. The
portfolio consists primarily of mortgage backed bonds, which constitute 62.7% of the
portfolio, as compared to 68.1% at December 31, 2003 and 59.0% at June 30, 2003. In
managing the portfolio, FS Bank seeks to maintain investment grade securities, at a
reasonable yield, and with an overall duration (average length of an investment) at or
near four years. At June 30, 2004, the duration of the entire portfolio was approximately
3.8 years. By maintaining a relatively short duration, FS Bank is better able to avoid
loss of value in a rising interest rate environment.

Loans:
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, declined by $1.9 million and $2.2 million during the
three month and six month periods, respectively, ended June 30, 2004, and $5.9 million as compared
to June 30, 2003.  The primary reasons for these declines have been increasing competitive pressures
in the local market, coupled with vacant lending officer positions that have now been filled.  The
composition of the portfolio remains weighted in commercial and commercial real estate loans, which
accounted for approximately 68.7% of the total gross balances at June 30, 2004, as compared to 68.8%
at December 31, 2003 and 65.8% at June 30,
2003.

The specific economic and credit
risks associated with our loan portfolio, include, but are not limited to, a general
downturn in the economy which could affect employment rates in our market area, general
real estate market deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, deteriorated or non-existent
collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of borrowers and
fraud.

We attempt to reduce these economic
and credit risks by adherence to loan-to-value guidelines for collateralized loans, by
investigating the creditworthiness of the borrower and by monitoring the borrowers
financial position. Also, we establish and periodically review our lending policies and
procedures. Banking regulations limit our exposure by prohibiting loan relationships that
exceed 20% of FS Banks statutory capital in the case of loans that are not fully
secured by readily marketable or other permissible types of collateral, and further limit
the amount of loans that can be made to related parties.

We periodically analyze our loan
position with respect to our borrowers industries to determine if a concentration of
credit risk exists to any one or more industries. We have a significant credit exposure of
loans outstanding plus unfunded lines of credit to borrowers in the residential
construction industry and to owners of nonresidential buildings at June 30, 2004. This
exposure level is taken into consideration by management in its determination of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Based upon that determination, we believe that
we did not have any excessive exposure to any single industry which would warrant
additional allowance allocations.

FS Bank discontinues the accrual of
interest income when (1) there is a significant deterioration in the financial
condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest is not expected or
(2) the principal or interest is more than 90 days past due, unless the loan is
both well-secured and in the process of collection.

Non-Performing Assets.  Non-performing assets are made up of loans that have been placed in a non-accrual
status, loans that are past due 90 days or greater, loans that have been classified as
restructured and repossessed assets. The following table sets forth the non-performing
assets at the dates indicated (amounts in thousands):

|                                  |               |                   |

|1. |  | Included in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2004 are loans to a troubled franchise
          operator in the aggregate amount of $2,633 that were previously reported as
          restructured.
|-- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2. |  | The restructured loans appearing in the June 30, 2003 totals were later placed
          into the non-accrual status and appear as non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003
          and June 30, 2004.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL).
 We maintain the ALL at a level that our management deems appropriate to adequately
cover the probable and incurred loss in the loan portfolio. The following table sets forth
the balances in our allowance for loan losses and the percentage for total loans and
non-performing loans at the dates indicated (amounts in thousands):

|                                        |               |                   |

As of the above dates, our management
deemed the balances in the allowance for loan losses to be adequate. The judgments and
estimates associated with our ALL determination are described under Critical
Accounting Estimates below.

Deposits and Other Borrowings.
 We had approximately $173.5 million of deposits at June 30, 2004, as compared to
$190.6 million at December 31, 2004 and $192.8 million at June 30, 2003. Our deposits
consist of noninterest and interest-bearing demand accounts, savings, money market and
time deposits.

Total deposits declined by $7.8
million and $17.2 million, respectively, during the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
2004 and $19.3 million as compared to June 30, 2003. The decline is primarily in certificates of
deposit, which declined by $10.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively, during the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and $21.9 million as compared to June 30, 2003.  These declines
in certificates of deposit reflect the funding strategies adopted by FS Bank in late 2003. As discussed
previously, our liquidity and funding plans include a decision to use federal funds purchased to reduce
our balances in certificates of deposit. The reason for this decision is that the certificates of deposit
have a higher interest cost than the earnings yield on our federal funds sold. Therefore,
the use of excess federal funds sold to reduce certificates of deposit resulted in an
improvement in our net interest income. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased during the
quarter, from $21.6 million at March 31, 2004 to $23.0 million at June 30, 2004, as compared to $21.3 million
at June 30, 2003.

In addition to our deposits, we have
repurchase agreements which are essentially deposit equivalents collateralized by
securities. These agreements amounted to $8.3 million at June 30, 2004, $8.9 million at
December 31, 2003 and $3.7 million at June 30, 2003. Additionally, at June 30, 2004,
we had balances of $9.4 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 2003 and $13.6 million at
June 30, 2003.

Note Payable. On December 30,
2003, First Security entered into a credit agreement with another financial institution
that provides for a reducing revolving line of credit in the maximum amount of $6 million,
of which $5 million was drawn at inception and contributed to FS Bank to increase its
capital base. The related note is secured by 100% of the common shares of FS Bank and has
a maturity of December 31, 2006. The maximum amount available under the credit agreement
reduces to $5 million on December 31, 2004 and $4 million on December 31, 2005.

The credit agreement contains a
number of covenants relating to the operation of the Bank including the maintenance of a
minimum equity capital ratio, a maximum ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans, a
minimum return on average assets and the maintenance of a minimum dividend payment
capacity by the Bank. Covenants applicable to First Security include a prohibition of the
payment of dividends on its common stock. At June 30, 2004, First Security met all
requirements of the credit agreement.

Liquidity.
 Liquidity management is the process by which management attempts to ensure that adequate
liquid funds are available to meet financial commitments on a timely basis. These
commitments include withdrawals by depositors, funding credit obligations to borrowers,
servicing long-term obligations, paying operating expenses, funding capital expenditures
and maintaining reserve requirements. Liquidity is monitored closely by the Asset/Liability
Management Committee of FS Bank, which monitors interest rates and liquidity risk while
implementing our funding and balance sheet strategies.

FS Bank has established a limited
number of alternative or secondary sources to provide additional liquidity and funding
sources when needed to support lending activity or other liquidity needs. These
alternative funding sources currently include unsecured federal funds lines of credit from
five correspondent banks aggregating approximately $23 million and a secured line of
credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, which allows FS Bank to borrow based
on the level of qualifying residential loans which serve as collateral for this type of
borrowing. Using these two sources, at June 30, 2004, FS Bank could borrow approximately
$30 million based on available lines.

The
need for future borrowing arrangements above current levels will be evaluated by
management with consideration given to the growth prospects of the loan portfolio,
liquidity needs, costs of deposits, market conditions and other factors. Short-term
liquidity needs for periods of up to one year may be met through federal funds lines of
credit, borrowings and short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The Federal Home Loan
Bank additionally offers advance programs of varying maturities for terms beyond one year.

Capital Resources.
 At June 30, 2004, our stockholders equity amounted to $19.9 million, as compared to $20.1
million at December 31, 2003. The change in stockholders equity was attributable to
our net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 of $404,000 and the net
decrease in comprehensive income of $625,000 attributable to the decrease in fair value of
our available-for-sale securities portfolio.

# Critical Accounting
Estimates

The accounting principles we follow
and our methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and with general practices within the banking industry. In
connection with the application of those principles, we have made judgments and estimates
which, in the case of the determination of our allowance for loan losses (ALL), have been
critical to the determination of our financial position and results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL).
 To evaluate the loan portfolio, management has established loan grading procedures.
These procedures establish a grade for each loan upon origination which is periodically
reassessed throughout the term of the loan. Grading categories include highest quality,
above average, average, low average, watch, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Loans graded
watch or worse also include loans severely past-due and those not accruing interest.
Specific reserve allocations are calculated for specific individual loans having been
graded watch, substandard, doubtful, and loss based on the specific estimated
collectability (and by reference, estimated inherent risk of loss) of each loan. The
aggregate of the estimated probable and incurred loss then becomes a portion of the
allowance for loan losses to be specifically allocated to that loan. These calculations
are referred to as specific allocations.

For loans not individually graded
watch, substandard, doubtful or loss, an estimated loss factor is calculated and applied
to each category, after reducing the category amounts for cash equivalent collateral held
by FS Bank (such as certificates of deposit issued by FS Bank and held as collateral) and
guaranties from the federal government (such as SBA guaranties). A general allowance
allocation is computed using totals of each loan grading category (as adjusted) multiplied
by an estimated loss factor applied to each grading category. The sum of the calculation
for each grading category represents the general allowance. These loss factors are
typically developed over time using actual loss experience adjusted for the various
factors discussed above.

The sum of the specific allocations
and the general allocation represents managements best estimate of the probable
incurred losses contained in the loan portfolio at the measurement date. Even though the
ALL is composed of two components, the entire ALL is available to absorb any credit
losses.

In assessing the adequacy of the ALL,
we also rely on an ongoing independent loan review process. We undertake this process both
to ascertain whether there are loans in the portfolio whose credit quality has weakened
over time and to assist in our overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the
entire loan portfolio. Our loan review process includes the judgment of management, the
input from our independent loan reviewer, who is not an employee of FS Bank, and reviews
that may have been conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their usual
examination process.

Management believes the allowance for
loan losses at June 30, 2004 was adequate. Although we believe we use the best information
available to make allowance provisions, future adjustments which could be material may be
necessary if the assumptions used to determine the allowance differ from future loan
portfolio performance.

# Impact of Inflation

The Consolidated Financial Statements
and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and practices within the banking industry
which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the
assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institutions
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.

# Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

Since December 31, 2003, there have
been no new accounting pronouncements that would have a material effect on the financial
statements or practices of FS Bank.

# Item 3. - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

# Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures

First Security maintains disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to First Securitys management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. First Securitys management evaluated with the
participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
effectiveness of First Securitys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure
controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that First Security Bancorps disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2004.

# Changes in Internal
Controls

There was no change in First
Securitys internal control over financial reporting identified during that
evaluation that occurred during First Securitys fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, First
Securitys internal control over financial reporting.
